ONTOLOGICAL INTEGRITY AS AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM OF RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the ways to ground the ontological integrity in Russian religious philosophy of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The study was conducted by applying the methods of historical and philosophical analysis: a comparative analysis method; method of historical and philosophical reconstruction; interpretation method; method of synthesis as a combination of the interpreted material in a new entity. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the Russian religious philosophy of the 19th - early 20th century attempted to build a comprehensive ontological system that would rationally combine the rationalistic ideas of substance and the Christian idea of divine energies. The problem of the attempted synthesis was not solved because it always led to logical errors and inconsistencies in the system. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the fact that the undertaken historical and philosophical analysis of the failed ontological synthesis sets before the modern science a task of understanding the essence of energy as such, revealing the nature and possibilities of interaction between human and divine energies, which advances the problem under consideration to an interdisciplinary level.
